Why HPCC Is the Preferred Choice for Commercial and Residential Buildings

In the rapidly evolving construction world, high-performance composites (HPC) stand out as an innovative solution. It offers superior qualities to traditional construction materials which are heavyweight and difficult to transport. Moreover, these construction elements, characterised by their unique combination of reinforcements and matrices, are redefining the benchmarks of strength, durability, and aesthetics in modern construction. 

In this article, we will delve into more about HPCC and why it is the preferred choice for commercial and residential buildings. 

What Is HPCC or High-Performance Composite Construction?

In construction, high-performance composites refer to materials that are engineered for specific applications where the performance requirements exceed those of traditional composites. 

HPCC or high-performance composite construction from RINAC India Ltd. is a patented composite construction solution, which is transforming and gaining wide acceptance as an alternative, convenient and reliable modular construction technology. 

It finds expanding applications across different industries and sectors including mini or medium warehouses, industrial buildings, secondary buildings–terrace top construction, docking stations, service stations, highway restaurants, food court canopies, office buildings, hostels, dormitories, industrial canteens, poultry pens and livestock huts, and any other low rise facilities. 

Drivers and Factors: Construction Composites Market

According to Straits Research, The total addressable market for construction composites was valued at USD 6.3 billion in 2022. It is expected to reach 10.38 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 5.7% during 2023–31. The use of composites in the construction sector is increasing due to the rise in the rehabilitation of ageing concrete structures. Additionally, factors such as rapid urbanisation, economic growth and expansion in major economies, and adherence to green building standards. 

What Makes HPCC a Preferred Solution in the Construction Industry 

Rinac utilizes a state-of-the-art process to manufacture HPCC components such as columns, rafters, purlins, and grits. The process involves patent polymer and pre-coated steel, transforming the components into high strength-to-weight ratio composite elements. The resultant is a combination of the specialised polymer, precoated steel and thin gauge steel reinforcement integrated together to form a monolithic composite element. 

These elements, once manufactured, cannot be disintegrated into original parts. Not only are they aesthetically superior to heavy steel construction but are also non-corrosive and low-maintenance. 

Additionally, HPCC can be customized to address the varying needs and challenges such as high wind speed, rainfall, hilly terrains, temperature, and seismic zone activities. 

Deep Dive Into Method of Construction 

Here’s what an HPCC comprise.

• Light civil foundation
• Combination of insulated prefab sections–Columns, Rafters, and Purlins integrated with connectors 
• Insulated sandwich panel cladding for wall and roofing
• Finished with doors, windows, internal partitions and canopies

There are options for various surface textures and colours. Thus, when it comes to HPCC, Rinac offers. 

• Primary built-up members and primary framing system
• Secondary built-up members and secondary framing system
• Roof and wall cladding systems
• Doors, windows, frills and texture finish

What Are the Unique Features of HPCC?

Let’s dive into the unique features of HPCC that make it a preferred choice in commercial and residential buildings. 

• Long service life and low maintenance 
• High strength-to-weight ratio
• Light civil foundation
• Energy savings: Typical savings of 35 to 40% on HVAC when compared to conventional walls, maintaining heat in winter and conserving heat in summer. 
• Completely insulated buildings which are energy efficient and eco-friendly
• Quick, clean and easily cleanable construction
• Speed of construction reduced labour costs; contractors can do more jobs over the same amount of time—Typically shortens envelope construction timetable by 50% or more
• Environmentally responsible—recyclable ability and reduce reliance on wood-based products
• Ease of re-location and expandable capabilities 
• Corrosion-resistant (No painting required)
• Aesthetically appealing
• Ideal for earthquake-prone terrains and leased lands
• All weather-proof construction
